Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a thinner composition for removing spin-on-glass and photoresist which is used in the semiconductor component manufacturing process. More particularly, the present invention relates to a thinner composition that can be used in washing and removing the unnecessary spin-on-glass (“SOG”) of an SOG layer at edges and a backside of a substrate, the SOG layer being produced when an oligomer solution of an organic silicon compound having a siloxane bond is spin-coated on a substrate during the formation of an intermediate insulated layer. The present also relates to a thinner composition that can be used in washing and removing photoresist from the edges and the backside of a substrate, the photoresist being used as a mask in a photolithography process.
  • SOG unnecessary spin-on-glass
  • LSI Large Scale Integrated circuits
  • the component height of metal wiring, etc. has withnessed only minimal reductions so as not to increase wiring resistance and electric current density. Therefore, as side gap dimensions between metal wirings are becoming extremely narrowed, wiring height must naturally increase.
  • this type of wiring is formed by high anisotropic etching, the edges of the wiring have a sharp slope, and the number of wiring crossings and holes increase. Furthermore, the surface topography of LSI chips becomes greater due to the multi-layering of the wiring.
  • anisotropic wiring etching can leave residue at the sides of walls where there is a substrate topography that can lead to short circuits.
  • SOG spin-on-glass
  • n is an inter equal to or greater than one.
  • Patents including Japanese Laid-open Patent No. Heisei 9-36110, and Japanese Laid-open Patent No. Heisei 8-203876.
  • the insulated layer of silicon oxide material is made by heated condensation polymerization.
  • a solution is used to penetrate into the microscopic wiring, filling in level differences to be evened out.
  • a low temperature process is possible as condensation polymerization occurs below 400° C.
  • regular processing technologies such as the conventional etching, etc., can still be employed as the resulting insulated layer is a silicon oxide substrate.
  • a thinner composition can remove the SOG coating at the edges and backside of the substrate quickly and thoroughly. It is also useful in removing undesired photoresist generated when a photosensitive resin composition is spin-coated.
  • the photoresist is used as a mask in the photolithography process for the microscopic circuit patterning.
  • the photolithography process in the semiconductor component manufacturing process is an electronic circuit forming technique accomplished through the steps of coating a photoresist on a substrate, transferring a pattern according to the original design, and cutting according to the transferred pattern, i.e., the etching process.
  • This photolithography process is performed through various processes including:
  • these edge beads of photosensitive materials can be produced after the spin-coating process in which a photoresist is applied to a substrate and the substrate is then rotated making the photoresist spread out evenly on the surface by the action of centrifugal force.
  • Photoresist inclined toward the edge and backside regions of a substrate by the centrifugal force is formed into small spherical shapes in this spin-coating process.
  • This spherical shapes can be a source of particles in the apparatus after it is passed through the baking process and can be released during the transportation of a substrate, or can become a source of defocus during the light exposure process.
  • a spray nozzle is installed at edge parts of the substrate and at the upper and lower backside parts. A thinner composition composed of organic solvent constituents is sprayed through the nozzles to remove these excess photosensitive materials.
  • a positive type chemically amplified resist was suggested in literature as an alternative for this (Proc. SPIE., Vol. 1262, p32, 1990).
  • This chemically amplified resist has a multi-constituent composition comprising an acid generator which produces acids when it is irradiated, and a compound which is reacted by these acids.
  • a polymer compound which is reacted by these acids is known to have a structure as represented in General Formula 2:
  • n is an inter greater than or equal to one
  • R is an alkoxycarbonyl group, alkyl group, alkoxyalkyl group, alkylsilyl group, tetrahydropyranyl group, alkoxycarbonyl methyl group, etc., compounds which can be easily decomposed when reacted by acids.
  • a polymer compound such as a polyvinyl phenol derivative in which photoabsorption occurs in the short wavelength range, the chemically amplified resist becomes more transparent, and has a high sensitivity and resolution as a resist reaction progresses by a chain reaction due to an acid catalyst.
  • a polyvinyl phenol derivative receives a strong multiple reflection effect by light reflected from a lower part of the substrate due to a high transmittance of excimer laser light as described in the above. Multiple reflections within a membrane are generated by interference between the irradiated light (1) and the reflective light from a lower part of the substrate as shown in FIG. 5 .
  • FIG. 6 shows that the pattern dimensions vary greatly according to a thickness of the resist film.
  • the reflective light interference caused by topography on a semiconductor substrate affects the pattern dimension greatly in case of exposure with a mercury light.
  • light entering can cause a diffused reflection at an area with different levels generating a halation phenomena, resulting in pattern flow. Consequently, an excellent resist pattern is not formed.
  • the light interference conditions in a resist layer vary causing pattern dimension changes.
  • the ratio of a minute pattern height and width can not be controlled as the proximity effect is generated by the rear dispersion of electrons.
  • a multilayer resist system using a spin-on-glass coating was suggested (Japanese Laid-open Patent No. Heisei 3-203240) as a method for resolving these problems caused by protrusions and depressions of a substrate surface.
  • a multilayer resist system is a method in which a thick first organic resist layer having high absorbance is coated over the entire surface of the substrate so that protrusions, depressions and topography are planarized.
  • a thin second resist pattern is formed on the first organic resist layer using commonly known photolithography techniques, and this resist pattern is transferred to the above thick first organic resist layer so that an exposed area of the above substrate can be etched.
  • the thick first organic resist layer can be directly etched using the above second resist pattern as a mask, it is also good to etch an exposed part of the first organic resist layer using a SOG coating as a mask after a middle layer, such as highly etched resistant spin-on-glass, is formed between both layers, and unnecessary parts of this SOG middle layer are removed.
  • a middle layer such as highly etched resistant spin-on-glass
  • protrusions, depressions and topography on the substrate surface were planarized by the first organic resist layer having high absorbance, and a light, which passes from the top through the second resist film formed on the first organic resist layer, is absorbed by the first organic resist layer. Therefore, halation caused by reflection and dispersion of light from the substrate surface, or light interference in the resist film can be reduced, thereby preventing pattern shape dispersion or dimension change.
  • This method using a multilayer resist system has an advantage in that a high degree of applications are possible with the photolithography as the first resist layer controls the resist pattern characteristics as a mask, and the second resist layer, required for photosensitivity and resolution, can be bonded freely.
  • this method can be easily applied to extreme ultraviolet photolithography in which an extreme ultraviolet excimer laser light as an excimer light source is employed by using the first resist layer having excellent dry etching resistance and the second photosensitive resist having the high sensitivity and resolution with an extreme ultraviolet excimer laser light with a wavelength of less than 300 nm.
  • the thinner composition can be used in washing and removing undesired coating on the edges and backside of the substrate through such processes as the coating of an SOG solution in order to form an intermediate insulated layer in the semiconductor multi-layer wiring process, to improve layer flatness, in the process of coating the middle layer SOG solution for a multilayer resist system, or in the process of coating each photoresist that is used as a mask in the photolithography.
  • a dissolution rate and volatility may decide the performance of the above thinner composition.
  • a thinner composition dissolution rate as a capability of how effectively and quickly spin-on-glass and photoresist can be dissolved and removed, is crucial.
  • a smoothly treated profile like that shown in FIG. 2 can be made only by a proper dissolution rate in case of an edge area rinsing.
  • a photoresist attack can appear in the rinsing of a photoresist which is coated on a substrate as shown in FIG. 3 .
  • a flow phenomena of the partially dissolved photoresist tailings in the rinsing of a coated photoresist on the substrate can occur as shown in FIG. 4 .
  • a low rotation speed is now essential during the rinsing process with larger caliber rotational coaters.
  • volatility is required so that a thinner is easily evaporated in order that it does not remain on a substrate after the spin-on-glass coating and photoresist are removed.
  • the volatility is too low such that a thinner can not be evaporated, the remaining thinner itself serves as a contamination source in the each of the later processes, particularly in the subsequent etching process, etc.
  • the volatility is too high, the substrate is too rapidly cooled so that the variations in film thickness of the spin-coated spin-on-glass and photoresist are increased.
  • easy volatility even during handling can result in contaminating the clean room itself. This in itself causes a variety of faults, such as tailings or photoresist attack, and becomes a direct source for a decrease in semiconductor component manufacturing productivity.
  • the solvents for washing and removing photoresist include ether and ether acetate groups such as cellosolve, cellosolve acetate, propyleneglycol ether, propyleneglycol ether acetate, etc; ketone groups such as acetone, methylethyl ketone, methylisobutylketone, cyclohexanone, etc; and ester groups such as methyl lactate, ethyl lactate, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, etc.

  • PMEA Propyleneglycol monomethylether Acetate
  • ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate is excellent in terms of its dissolution rate, there are problems in that its volatility and flammability are high, and it is particularly toxic and associated with leukopenia and stillborn problems.
  • Propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate contains ⁇ type of materials from its manufacturing processes, and has toxicity problems that may cause birth defects and otherwise be problematic to pregnant mothers.
  • Ethyl lactate can not obtain a sufficient rinsing effect by itself due to its high viscosity and low dissolution rate, and acetone, methylethylketone, etc., have problems of low workability due to their low flash point.

No. 4,983,490, and a mixture composed of ethyl lactate and methyl ethyl ketone was used as a thinner in U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,728.
  • a mixed solvent composed of a pyruvic acid alkyl based solvent and methyl ethyl ketone cannot easily dissolve a 1,2-naphthoquinonediazide based photosensitizer (having a high esterification ratio among photosensitizer, and being a main constituent of photoresists).
  • a high volatility solvent such as a mixed solvent composed of propyleneglycol alkyl ether propionate and butyl acetate for rinsing the backside of the substrate cools the substrate and verifies a thickness of photoresist
  • a low volatility solvent such as a mixed solvent composed of ethyl lactate and methyl ethyl ketone reduces the rinsing capability on the substrate edge area.
  • solvents such as methyl pyruvate, ethyl pyruvate, etc., are known to corrode metal parts in the used photoresist reservoir fixed to a photoresist spin-coater after prolonged use.
  • propylene glycol monomethyl ether is known to have an advantage that increases the photosensitivity of photoresist compared to the conventional ethylene glycol monoethyl ether, i.e., a higher dissolution on photoactive compounds, it can cause discomfort to people due to its bad odor and somatological concerns.
  • propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate as a method to mitigate these problems (U.S. Pat. No. 4,983,490), the problems nevertheless remain.

  • Physical properties include a boiling point of 132.8° C., a flash point (measured in the closed cup method) of 32° C., a viscosity (at 25° C.) of 1.86 centipoises (cps), a surface tension of 26.5 dyne/cm 2 , and a solubility parameter of 10.4.
  • the conventional thinner using ethylene glycol monoalkyl ether acetate only generates an unpleasant odor after use on spin-coater, and causes an unpleasant feeling (as it is known that if the thinner is used for a long time, fatigue is easily felt and the thinner negatively affects respiratory organs due to the fragrant property of volatile solvent).
  • a mixture solvent with monooxycarbonic acid ester can mitigate discomfort caused by an objectionable odor.
  • Monooxycarbonic acid ester can even be used, for example, as a fragrance.
  • monooxycarbonic acid ester has excellent dissolution properties on a polymer binder phenol resin among the photoresist represented in the below Table 1. These have 2 to 10 times better dissolution rates than the conventionally used ethyleneglycol monoalkylether acetate only.
  • Butyl ethanoate has an excellent dissolution rate on a variety of resins, and particularly low surface tension, as well as an excellent volatility such that excellent interfacial characteristics are achieved when a small amount of it is added to a thinner composition. Additionally, it can be seen in Table 1 that it has an excellent dissolution rate on polyvinyl phenol derivatives, a binder resin of short wavelength excimer laser photoresist composition and a siloxane oligomer solution, a main constituent of spin-on-glass.

  • Ethyl lactate has higher a solubility on photoactive compounds of photoresist than other solvents. However, it is difficult for ethyl lactate to be used as an independent thinner composition due to its high surface tension and viscosity, and a small amount, less than 1 wt % of the total thinner composition, can produce excellent characteristics when mixed with other thinners.
  • the present invention is applied by first properly combining the above four compositions with a certain constituent ratio, after which the above mentioned varieties of photoresist and spin-on-glass are coated by a spin-coater, and unnecessary edge beads are removed by dropping or spraying through a nozzle the thinner compositions on substrate edges and the backside thereof.
